Goodbye King author
2025.3.15
Happy birthday to my fourth sister.
Congratulation all the way to Switzerland.
At the same time, I have to say goodbye
To the person, whom I met
On my fifth sister's birthday.
Two months to date. A very brief encounter.
Due to greedy and selfish,
We must be parted.
When travelling, all I wanted
Was to enjoy sightseeing and swimming
I could not offer,
Anything more than a travel companionship.
Maybe I could extend to having drinks and dinning.
I have been very selfish,
I liked to do thing my way.
I appreciated open conversations,
Discuss the journey thoroughly,
Care and share, give and take,
But not one way traffic,
And no hidden agenda what so ever.
I am long overdue for a holiday.
Whether Overseas or Interstate.
It had been more than two decades,
I travelled to Europe and Asia,
My last trip to Sydney,
With my friend and her partner.
We got there by private transport.
This time, I shall go by trains,
For the first time, I want to walk
On the Sydney icon "Harbour Bridge".
To the Rocks Square and then
Pressing my feet to make stamps,
On the steps of the Opera House.
I do not mind to either
Heading North to Lake Macquarie
Or down south to Jervis Bay.
Either place is fine by me,
As long as I have a chance to swim.
Few days ago, for the first time,
I swam in Lake King, Paynesville,
Caught the ferry to Raymond Island.
Gippsland Lakes Reserve.
I even found three koalas,
But no kangaroo, nor echidna.
It was very different experiences.
I walked through a town, of an island,
With many talls and big eucalypstic trees,
Which lined up in front of the properties,
However, I did not find the scent,
As I did when I strolled pass Mount Macedon.
Where I thought someone,
Wore the mild au de cologne,
Followed me along the dirt paths,
All the way from Camel Hump to down town.
Where I was told, the trees and the bush lands,
Released beautiful scent.
I have travelled extensively in Victoria,
From coast beaches Warrnambool
To in land historical towns like Bendigo.
It is about time I should cross the border and travel further.
I shall travel as long as I could.
